Grimes’ Saturday set at Coachella was plagued by “major technical difficulties.”

The Canadian experimental pop musician took the Sahara stage for what was supposed to be a 50-minute DJ set. However, around the halfway mark, Grimes was forced to restart “Music 4 Machines” multiple times, as the song was playing double the speed that she had intended. The remainder of the set proved equally chaotic.

“This is a difficult thing to explain but we’re having a major technical error,” she told the crowd. “Don’t judge me for being bad a calculating things.”

“All my tracks are double tempo and I can’t do the math. They’re borderline un-mixable, so the rest of my sent won’t be mixes but it’ll still be fun,” Grimes said at another point. She also let out several angry screams.

In a social media post following the set, Grimes wrote, “I’ve spent months on this show, making music and visuals, and admittedly am not in the best mood atm.” She attributed the technical difficulties to outsourcing “essential things like rekordbox bpm’s and letting someone else organize the tracks on the sd card etc.,” and promited that next weekend’s set would be “flawless, everything will run thru my hands.”
